Greetings fellow travellers. I try not to keep too abreast of things like GTK and WebKit, for the sake of my sanity, but I read this[0] today which was a pretty scary read, really.
One thing that is particularly important is that webkitgtk2 is receiving security updates, whereas webkitgtk1 is not, and hasn't for quite a while. I was not aware of this. Web browsing is a dangerous thing, and I didn't realise quite how many known vulnerabilities I have been surfing with, and would like to reduce that number. I know there's a webkitgtk2 branch of surf. Is there anything missing in it that would prevent it from being the default surf branch? I'll gladly help bring things up to scratch if there is work to do, as surf is a reasonable interface and I dislike it much less than other browsers (except my pandoc / markdown / tkread setup, but that's not very general-purpose, only really fit to read longform articles). Love and kisses, Nick 0. https://blogs.gnome.org/mcatanzaro/2016/02/01/on-webkit-security-updates/
